    It probably means you can't get pregnant.

    If you are indeed pregnant, it usually means that there is a threatened miscarriage.

    Um, Tick, you don't have the pregnancy hormone unless you ARE pregnant.

    Wouldn't let me spread rep, but thanks J for pointing that out, will know that in the future. I just wish I could stay away from anything relating to healthcare/pregnancy and leave this topic up to you.

    LOL, I know the feeling. I have that problem on some boards as well.

    Now, for the record, hcg (human chorionoic gonadotropin) is the hormone that is produced when a woman is pregnant.

    FSH (folicle stimulating hormone) is just one of the hormones involved in whether a woman CAN get pregnant. LH (leutinizing hormone) is another one of these hormones.
